阿格丽希极力推崇的当代钢琴奇女子:「支持杰出的音乐界后进、并帮助他们获得认同一直是我的生命中最重要且不可或缺的一部份。我衷心希望盖布莉叶拉独特的才华能够被更多人所赏识。」 阿格丽希曾经向法国音乐世界杂志力荐蒙泰罗:「我很少见到才华如盖布莉叶拉这般出色的音乐家。」出生1970年代的盖布莉叶拉是委内瑞拉人,五岁登台演出,八岁获得委国政府奖学金出国进修,12岁获得美国音乐基金会设立的国际青年音乐家钢琴大赛首奖,后来还在1995年赢得肖邦钢琴大赛铜牌奖。她在2006年和纽约爱乐合作协奏曲,过去五年也年年受邀参加阿格丽希在卢加诺的阿格丽希音乐节。蒙泰罗现今在世界各地举行的即兴独奏会和录音,则是她无心插柳的后果,她从小喜欢在钢琴上以熟悉的旋律即兴发挥,就算成为举世知名的古典钢琴家后也一样。有一次她在后台练琴之余,信手就弹奏即兴来放松自己,不料竟被大师阿格丽希在旁听到,阿格丽希听到与她老师古尔德一样的非凡灵感,乃鼓励蒙泰罗将这部份公开发表。 盖布莉叶拉是一位无需训练就能自由依所听到的曲调在钢琴上即兴弹奏的钢琴家。这让她被归纳为和大师古尔达(Friedrich Gulda)同一类型。她在钢琴老师和阿格丽希的鼓励下,让自己的即兴弹奏更为精致。她2005年10月发行「古典与即兴」专辑,以一面演奏古典曲目、一面以改编的方式发行后大受欢迎,一时之间成为古典乐界最大的惊喜,不到一年的时间立刻又被EMI Classics邀请,灌录「巴哈后现代」。她的即兴以古典风格出发,那些和声和节奏就像是一位后浪漫乐派作曲家所呈现的即兴弹奏,这样的弹奏风格自从十九世纪就逐渐消失在正式的古典音乐会上,但是蒙泰罗的出现,再一次让我们听到李斯特、贝多芬和巴哈广载于史籍中的古典即兴,而不只是爵士音乐家的即兴弹奏。在这片最新的即兴专辑中,蒙泰罗以13首巴洛克乐曲作为她的灵感,在录音间即兴弹奏,事先完全没有先写好谱,而是在录音室里随着她的灵感到处信手捻来。她自己也说,别问她这灵感从何而来,她只是想着这些巴洛克旋律,灵感就源源不绝地自她指尖流泄而出。对这位两、三岁就能在钢琴上即兴发展妈妈唱给她摇篮曲的钢琴家而言,即兴应该是她血液和音乐天份的一部份,那么的自然又令人愉悦。 这份录音中,我们听到她以非常浪漫、抒情的方式诠释帕海贝尔的「卡农」、以滑稽、地中海的节奏即兴韩德尔的「哈利路亚」、将韦瓦第的夏季暴风雨弹出让人不敢喘息的华丽舞曲……只要你喜欢过一首简单的古典音乐旋律,一定都会对她的这些即兴灵感产生共鸣。
